First book from my sub challenge done! This book sat on my shelf for ages before I picked it up again. I didn’t really enjoy this. There were aspects I really liked throughout the book but overall it didn’t feel authentic to me. First of all, this wasn’t a romance book. Which would be fine but I couldn’t bring myself to care about yinka,… she’s simply too old for the way she behaves and the lessons she’s learning…or basically anyone else. I feel like the author just briefly brushed over every plot point and that resulted in the story lacking depth. I also don’t get the comparison to Bridget jones. At least Bridget jones is funny… Maybe I’m just not the right audience…. Pls also note that the summary simply isn’t true? “Yinkas work friends think she’s too traditional (saving herself for marriage)” uhmm they don’t know till the end? Etc.

I'm not sure where to start... First of all a I loved the book, not only the story but also hiw it was sectioned into months, the emails etc. The story was heartwarming and hilarious and a transmitted a great message : Truly loving yourself is essential before loving someone else. Pretending to be someone you actually are not, just to fit into social standards is not a place to end off at. Furthermore I loved that the oftentimes shameful topic of therapy was brought up and shown as something normal and helpful. Regardless of you thinking "only crazy people need counselling" Even tough the story was kinda predictable I looked forward to open the book again. The "nigerian vibe" was adorable as well. It's definitely a big reccomandation of mine!
